About this tag
The copilot security tag covers discussions about securing Microsoft 365 Copilot deployments, including data governance, vulnerability disclosures, and enterprise AI risk management. Topics include CVE-2026-42824 (SearchLeak) and CVE-2026-26133 information disclosure vulnerabilities, Microsoft Purview Insider Risk updates for monitoring AI prompts, and guidance on preventing oversharing when using Copilot with sensitive data like financial documents. The tag also addresses broader enterprise AI governance challenges, such as managing agentic assistants that access calendars, email, and business systems, and the need for security teams to govern multi-app AI behavior patterns. These threads focus on practical security measures for Windows and Microsoft 365 environments.
